I managed to track down the perfect waterproof jacket for autumn that kept me completely dry on rainy autumn dog walks – and you can now get it with £35 off with free delivery
It’s official – autumn is here. And whilst that means bright cold mornings, crunchy leaves and cosy nights in, it also means that the rain has arrived. And as someone with a dog requiring regular walks, it also means I needed to invest in a great waterproof jacket, pronto.
Thankfully I’ve already tracked down the perfect one that kept me completely dry even in a downpour, and good news – it’s now on sale. The Rainforest II Extreme Womens Waterproof Jacket from Mountain Warehouse is usually priced at £129.99, but it’s currently got 35% off, bringing the price down to £84.99. And to make it even better, you get free delivery on the jacket too, saving you even more money.

The jacket was the perfect pick for dog walks, as it’s lightweight and easy to throw in a bag or the boot of a car for unexpected showers. It also has plenty of zip pockets which are great for your phone, treats, spare leads and pairs of gloves.
Of course the most important thing is; did it keep me dry? And the easy answer is yes. I got caught in a torrential downpour, and the Rainforest II Extreme Waterproof Jacket kept me completely bone dry underneath.
There was no leaking or seeping at the seams, which are fully taped, and it’s waterproof up to 10,000 mm making it suitable for very heavy rain which I can personally vouch for. The only downside is that the length means the tops of your legs aren’t protected from the rain, which will run off onto them. However that’s to be expected with a shorter jacket, so isn’t exactly what I’d call a fault.
If you did want something longer, the Saunter Womens Long Waterproof Jacket from Tog24 is perfect, not to mention it’s also on sale down from £150 to £105. Meanwhile at Regatta, the Adult Waterproof Changing Robe is ideal for those cold and rainy days, and is now £60 down from £120.
The Rainforest II Extreme Waterproof Jacket also nicely breathable, with a mesh lining and fabric that allows perspiration to pass out of it, and air to circulate around it so you don’t get too sweaty whilst wearing it. The cuffs and goods are both also fully adjustable, so you can get a perfect fit and stop rain from seeping in around your face or up your sleeves.
Whilst my burgundy colourway has now sold out, there’s still six other colours to choose from including black, grey and pink. It’s also available in sizes six to 24. I sized up to make sure I had plenty of room underneath for a jumper or sweatshirt, but if you prefer a closer fit then stick to your regular size.
Mountain Warehouse shoppers have also praised the Rainforest II Extreme Waterproof Jacket, with one saying: “Excellent style a fit, just what I was looking for….Excellent quality.”
Another agreed: “This coat after being tested in some very rainy weather has proved its worth and quality.”
One did mention: “Has a number of pockets making it convenient to go pouch -free on shorter hikes. I ordered size according to size chart and it is quite big but still wearable and comfortable. The hood could be a little deeper.”
But others raved about it, saying: “Excellent stylish design and fit.”
